Dodgers Roster: Early Thoughts on 2023 Playoff Bullpen

As October approaches, many fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers typically begin contemplating the best choices for the upcoming playoff roster.

Your Los Angeles Dodgers now are at 90 wins on the season, 52 games over .500, with a .703 winning percentage, and a 19.5 game lead in the NL West.
